What does "magnetized thru thickness" mean?
We use the description "magnetized thru thickness" to identify the locations of the poles on our block magnets. Thickness is always the last listed dimension and is also usually the smallest.
For most of our block magnets, that means that the magnets stick or repel in the middle, on the large flat surfaces, rather than at the end of the block.
A neodymium magnet can be magnetized in a handful of different directions. Rare earth magnets (NdFeb) vary in shape, and each shape has its own magnetization direction options.

Fast, professional service
These magnets are so strong that it is difficult to separate them without using some kind of prying tool, my fingers alone are too weak to do it. They will do the job I purchased them for very well.
The magnets I received were shipped quickly and securely, and I had no issues with delivery. They were packed well and in good shape when I received them. I noticed no defect with the magnets and I I was able to use them exactly as I intended on back of a piece of jatoba for a magnetic knife strip. I routed a track to 1/8” and glued and epoxied the magnets in place. The magnets provide sufficient pull strength to hold knives without being too energetic about grabbing them from the hand. These met my need precisely and I would purchase again if I decide to make more of these magnetic knife holders.
I used the magnets on a wooden toy box for my grandson. Easy to install and the perfect strength. I will be buying different sizes for other projects.
Ordered these magnets for a project that I was working on. Received as stated & described, the magnets are what I was looking for. Will order from them again.
Used this for a hobby project I’m working on and the magnets held my project together very well. The finish on them were uniform and packaged them very well. They were shipped and received very timely and will be re-ordering more.
Good customer service, great price & quick to ship
I was hoping to find a strong, low profile magnet to use on my project - which is a restoration of a WWII Army Footlocker. I wanted to attach some old photos and postcards to the underside of the lid, but without using any permanent adhesives which may have affected my paint job. These worked perfectly!
